Welcome to the Open Sesame blog! Open Sesame is a collaborative jewelry design business between Emily Percival- Snyder and Juanita Spitler. We are excited to begin this blog to discuss our ideas and inspirations, and also our adventures in beginning our own business.
The story behind the name: According to Wikipedia.com, the story starts off with a man named Ali Baba, cutting wood in the forest. He over hears a group of 40 thieves traveling through the forest to their secret cave full of treasure. The cave is sealed with magic though, and Ali Baba discovers that the cave opens to the command of “Open Sesame!” When the thieves have left, he goes to the cave and says “Open Sesame!” He enters and gathers himself a helping of the treasure.
Our idea of calling our business Open Sesame came from the vivid ideas of what kind “treasure” was hidden inside that cave. We hope that our customers regard our jewelry as treasure ( we sure do!). You can check out our shop at www.opensesame.etsy.com. Let us know what you think!
